I regularly check the Garmin website for updates and having purchased this unit for its NMEA 2000 capability with fuel and motor interface. I was disappointed to find that the advertised ability was different in the actual unit.
However they did an update on the software

“Production released 4x10 and 5x15 software
Added support for new categories of NMEA2000 data, including Navigation, GPS, Fuel, Depth, Water Speed, and Temperature
Added fuel management features
Improved map drawing performance
Added ability to navigate tracks
Increased accessibility of XM audio features
Added XM weather to 3D map.
Numerous product feature improvements”

I have not transferred it to the unit yet but will post up the changes when I know

Got the update installed
Yes all of the fuel trip distance fuel remaining fuel used is there
Had to run it on demo mode as I dont have the NMEA 2000 cable
Will connect it into the NMEA2000 network in the next couple of days and give it a solid run
